This dives into a pocket discussion over the blanket “Asian” category. He’s of Korean heritage. The two roles I’ve heard him in were as Japanese and Chinese characters. (Side note: he uses the exact same voice and line reading for both. It’s bad.) This has always been a contentious topic, going back to Memoirs of a Geisha having Chinese actors playing Japanese roles. Those criticisms came from Chinese and Japanese audiences. Because to Americans, every Asian is the exact same.

One of those two games was Shadow Warrior 3. Also notable for replacing the white guy voicing Lo Wang in the first two games with a Korean actor. But despite the change, he still does the stereotypical Chinese accent. Which is okay now.
